Meh.

[BloFan4Life]

Hahaha, you serious right now? Over Vilardi?

 

[Onslow]

Yikes

 

[Gabrielor]

I'll say something positive to start, he fits the speed mindset.

 

[Ace]

Love it.

Called it.

Love it.

 

[hizzoner]

Sam Reinhart light. Another slowish crafty centre? Not what we needed at all. 4 years to be UFA?

 

[Club]

Yeah, over Vilardi? Like come on

 

[Deevo]

Eeeeeeeeek.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

I stand corrected

Um....

 

[ende]

Im very confused by this pick.

Not like Reinhart, no

Go look again. He is not slow. Far from it.

 

[BloFan4Life]

Soo... we just lost a player due to the college clause in the CBA, so lets take a player going to college. WTF? I thought we'd go Valimaki or Vilardi. I'm pretty unimpressed with Botts at this point

I feel the same with Botts. I was leery with him when we hired him, and he has done nothing to make me confident.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Went with speed. Nice pick.

The article the OP posted said he was fast. He's slow?

 

[Ace]

He's not sitting out 4 seasons come on. Will be in Rochester as soon as next year.

 

[Ace]

I know Chainshot is with me in liking the pick at least.

 

[Puddy]

Vilardi, and maybe Tippett, were better options. Frustrating to pass on Valardi who was ranked 3rd in THN and 4th in RedLine.

Vilardi has been passed on by a lot of people presumably because of speed. Tippett because of hockey sense concerns.

He already said he was going to college.

Fast is good. Hope he can put on the size to play with the big boys. He needs to be with professional trainers ASAP
